Celebration of Indigenous Art and Culture Exhibition

A special feature of this year’s exhibition is a commissioned artwork through a unique collaboration between Chinese Artist, Gao Xu Yong and Nyoongar Artist Sandra Hill. Come see this and other Indigenous artworks from ECU’s collection.

Daily Short Film Screening

This year’s short film is called 'Ochre and Ink'. The film tells the story of Chinese artist Zhou Xiaoping and his inspiring 23 year collaboration with Aboriginal artists in outback Australia.

With elements of humour, controversy and tragedy, this film follows Xiaoping as he develops from an enthusiastic but naive young man into an engaging and passionate character who established genuine friendships with many Aboriginal people.
